Tolkien was a genius. he would dive in to depth on every single little detail. however even he sometimes didnt give the whole story. I wish I could learn more about the blue wizards and their story of the east. I would also want to learn more about the hither lands, the variags and also the island in the sea of rhun. what about you guyz?

Definitely the Blue Wizards, and I agree about Rhun and lands west and south. Hints at Arabic style people and the oliphaunts, I would just love to know more! They contrast so strongly with the western medieval slant of the known peoples of Middle Earth, it would be interesting to see where Tolkien's imagination went with them.

I would definatley want to learn more about the blue wizards and everything south and east in middle earth. Particularly about Far Harad and Rhûn since they form the majority of middle earth yet we know almost nothing about them. Also it would be nice to know how Tom Bombadill fits with the rest of Tolkien's mythology.

I'm another one who would like to know more about the area around the Sea of Rhun. If there was commercial traffic on the River Running, there had to be someone at the other end! Those wines of Dorwinion, for example: what was Dorwinion like? Who lived there, elves or men? What kind of culture did they belong to? Were they akin to the Lake-men and the men of Dale, or were they of Easterling stock, or were they akin to the forefathers of the Rohirrim?

Umbar, yes. The first Numenorean outpost, and it ended up being a foe of the Exile colonies. Why, how? Yeah, I know, Castamir... But there had to be support for him and other rebels. How did the Corsairs develop, out of what should have been such noble stock? Or did the local folk, who may have had an ax to grind, take over from the Numenoreans at some point? I suppose some of this is in the appendices, but my books are somewhere... Even so, I'd like to know more.

I am curious to know more about Dorwinion. For the same reasons that another commenter here posted.

Have you ever seen Tolkien's drawing of Arda as it may have looked in the First Age? It was published in the HOME volume The Shaping of Middle-earth. Note that Harad already bears a resemblance to the continent of Africa.

I'd like to know more about the Blue Wizards, Galadriel, and Old Man Willow (especially if he ever met Treebeard; or if there was ever a war between his trees and the Ents, back sometime in the First Age)
